Evaluation of a Rat Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model Using an Extraluminal Flow Oxygenator
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.A rat cardiopulmonary bypass model was constructed incorporating the developed extraluminal flow oxygenator and compared with a commercial intraluminal flow oxygenator. Both oxygenators demonstrated comparable gas exchange performance and inflammatory responses; however, the one developed in this study better preserved PLT counts.

Predictors of Brain Infarction in Pediatric Patients During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.In 179 pediatric ECMO patients, brain infarction (BI) occurred in 28% and was linked to markedly higher 30‐day mortality. VA ECMO mode (vs. VV) and higher pre‐ECMO arterial lactate independently predicted BI, supporting standardized neuro‐monitoring and liberal early brain CT, especially for children on VA ECMO.

Development of a Swine Whole Eye Transplant Ex Vivo Perfusion Protocol
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.This study establishes the first subnormothermic machine perfusion protocol for whole eye transplants in a swine model, enabling up to 18 h of preservation with stable metabolic function, limited edema, and recovery of mydriasis. ABSTRACT Background The first human Whole Eye Transplant (WET) has sparked new hope for patients who have lost vision due to

Hormonal Treatment During Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Ameliorates Brain Death Induced Inflammation
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Treatment of lungs during ex vivo perfusion with 17β‐estradiol and methylprednisolone improved graft quality. In females, treated and non‐treated groups presented reduced leukocyte infiltration and only the treatment improved perfusion flow. In males, treatment improved lung function by increasing compliance, paO2, and perfusion flow.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Fania (Fanny) Kaplan (1890–1918), who was reportedly visually impaired, confessed to the attempted assassination of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924) in 1918 by shooting him with a pistol. The precise nature of her visual loss is unknown and raises doubts about whether she had sufficient visual function to perform the act ...

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.

The first case of Reel Syndrome in a dog after pacemaker implantation: A case report
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Reel Syndrome is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker implantation, characterised by the rotation of the device around its transverse axis, which causes the lead to coil around the generator and displacement, leading to pacing dysfunction. This report presents the first documented case of Reel Syndrome in a dog.
